I have a 5% ale that's been sitting in bottles for 2 years. Safe to drink?
My three year old nephew has helped me brew, but he has a couple years before he gets a taste. But, he loves the spent grain beer bread.I must be a touch dyslexic, when I looked at the title to this thread I thought it said, "Two year old safe to drink beer?"
Along the same line...maybe...I have a brew in a carboy that is about a year old...no water in the airlock for a long time....should I taste it or dump it?
You'd be a fool to dump it without even tasting it....

OP, yeah it's safe. Might be past its prime, but depending on storage, it might even be good.

Yep, but I'd feel even more the fool if it could, and did, make me or anyone else, sick.
...And I brewed an og 1.150, 150 IBU barleywine that I won't be opening for 5 years.
Ok, I tasted it. Put it in a keg to see what it's like carbed up, but I still have a question.... shouldn't I be able to take a gravity reading on it? The hydrometer (right word?) didn't appear to want to float in it.
C'mon now... don't tell me you aren't gonna have a sneak-taste at some point before that!
I would probably taste one on each anniversary, because I would be WAY too curious.
Congrats on having patience..
